As the title says. I've heard good things. And it's a growing trend. Want to know what others think. I know people do it on rims but what about body parts. And how's the finish

 

Im about to plastidip my rims gold lol ill let ya know how it turns out

 

I plastidipped my ASR subframe brace black and it seems to be holding on nicely.

 

Did the wheels on my ss, 4 coats of black and 3 coats of the glossifier looks great and holds up very well.

 

So has anyone on this thread plasti diped a car? im looking into plasti diping my 95 civic and want to see how it lasts and what the final results are

 

My boss plasti dipped his wheels on his Chevy Tahoe. (they're Escalade wheels plasti dipped black) They've help up quite well since he did them back in November and I live in PA, so they've dealt with snow and salt.

 

there are videos on youtube about it. vie seen one in persona and in person they don't look good. IMHO.

 

plasti dip will last 6 months.
plasti dip will last 2 years af you scuff the clear with 2000 and apply an adhesive promotor.

 

ive seen several done, seen some look like total crap, and some look really good. rim wise i have few sets rims done, havent messed with doin a paint job. idk.

 

You should know that the plastidip rempalcera not ever paint over time. We must take this product as a temporary and reversible customization without consequence for the support

 

Ive seen emblems done and they look good if done properly. Im gonna do my wheel covers and maybe my emblems

 

I've done some research and its all in the prep. Plasti dip on cars can last 3-5 years depending on the conditions and home starter kits start at around $300.

 

I was hesitant on plasti-dip at first, however, after watching many many DIY videos, I decided that it really is a good alternative to a full paint job. especially if youre on a low budget, or you want to preserve your car for future resale. I think its one of the greatest creations.

 

My friend plasti-dipped his bmw matte white....been 4 months still looks good!

 

great product! i plasti dipped my rims matte white, faded wiper blades and weather strips black and they look great. also heard they are coming out with this wheel cleaner that will clean up the brake dust with just sprayin no scrubbing.

 

There is no point of plati dipping the whole car! Get regular paint and save the dip for the wheels.

 

Alot of people dip whole car's. Change the color of your car a few times a year. Alot of cars look better/worse than others. That's not because of the product. It's a VERY picky product in terms of application. On large panels you have to have your distance to the panel just about perfect. Have to stay incredibly consistent and have to apply just enough, but not too much. When it is complete, and done correct, it will look perfectly even. And will last ALOT longer than 6 months if done right. In any conditions. Also don't ever sand your car before application. That defeats the purpose. Just clean it appropriately. Don't ever thin it out. Again, you're fighting against yourself. You WANT a "thick" layer of dip that will both look consistent AND be compliant for removal. The product is definitely moving forward with the recent additions of glossifier, metalizer, and pearlizer to get away from the conventional matte finish and allow a bit more creativity. I challenge you all to look up the pearlizer video on wheels posted by dipyourcar.com on youtube and tell me the pearl white doesn't look almost exactly like that of a Cadillac. Overall, really innovative project.

 

Working on starting up a business in CO.
Love this stuff!!!!

 

Great for underbody and fuel/brakes lines as well! At least for the winter climate citizens!

 

has anyone here tried plastidipping carbon fiber? theoretically it sounds like it shouldn't be of any harm but i'm not a paint guru.. my apr mirrors aren't in the best condition..

 

I don't see it being a problem as long it's not a dry-weave type carbon without an epoxy/shiny protectant on the outside

 

I've seen some plasti-dip cars that were done very nicely. It's very good to try out colors that you might want. I think plasti-dip is pretty durable if you do it right. If you're looking for something permanent that will never come off, i'd probably go with actual painting or powder coat.

 

I hate it, looks like crap.

 

Saw my buddies 5 colored integra rattle canned matte black(17 cans) looks perfect. It's in the prep!
